GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS

All first-degree BSN and Distance ABSN (DABSN) students must satisfy Emory University Nursing General Education Requirements (GERs) in addition to prerequisite requirements to matriculate to the School of Nursing. Students who fail to provide an official transcript by orientation will be removed from classes and admission will be rescinded.

Emory/Oxford College students must complete all first- and second-year requirements (e.g., ECS101, HLTH100, PE). Please contact your advisor to ensure you fulfill these requirements.

Nursing General Education Requirements for Emory/Oxford College, Transfer Students, and DABSN Students: Applicants are required to have completed courses equivalent to Emory courses to meet the Emory University Nursing General Education Requirements (GERs) in addition to completing all nursing prerequisite requirements before beginning the program. Transcripts will be evaluated for both requirements. The Nursing Office of the Registrar is the final approval of courses meeting the Emory GERs.
